disable delay on motion when arming vista20p

my motion sensor is in a hallway that is close to the alarm panel. When i'm leaving, i have to walk in front of the hallway and have to wait for the sensor to be in ready state. is it possible to disable the motion sensor when the system is not armed so it's not detecting any motion unless the system is armed in away mode?

No.... not that I know of. Actually a fairly common problem.
I've just told my customers to stand still for a few seconds until it clears.

The closest you could get would be to use the custom zone programming to create an interior zone that will "force arm" whether violated or not. To be honest, the programming is enough of a non-intuitive headache, that it's likely to be better to put up with having to stand still for a count of 15 or so.

If you stand at the keypad with your back to the motion and your hand on the keys, you should be able to get the motion fault to go away and still be able to type your code in without causing it to fault again.

This is hard to accomplish on a vista20p yet easy on dsc pc1832, I just found out now that I hooked the old vista20p on my parents house.

It's one of those Honeywell/Ademco quirks. Nearly every other brand has some form of Force Arm or Vent zone pre-defined; but they don't.

Thanks everyone, and sorry for my late reply. For some reason, I didn't get notifications and forgot to check earlier.

I have the envisalink module so if I ever get tired of waiting the few seconds, I'll just arm the system from my phone
